19-year-old NUS student dies after smashing out of taxi window
A 19-year-old National University of Singapore (NUS) student passed away last night after a taxi she was in collided into a car at an intersection, throwing her out of the taxi window. The incident occurred at the junction of Clementi Road and Commonwealth Avenue West.
Three other passengers and the drivers of the taxi and the car were conveyed to National University Hospital, where the 19-year-old died of her injuries. All the other passengers are NUS students, as well. One of the students was trapped in one of the vehicles and had to be extricated with hydraulic tools.
the taxi can be seen turning right at the intersection, behind another car. As it is halfway into the turn, a car from the taxi's diagonal opposite direction sped forward and collided into the taxi. It appears that the car had the right of way.
The impact was so serious that both the car and the taxi were sent spinning following the crash. The 19-year-old NUS student's head can be seen hanging out of the taxi window as the taxi comes to a stop.
